Installation artifacts
Procedure
- Confirm the source image digest and published tag.
- Read the artifact workflow before dispatching it.
- Use the workflow's explicit safe variant and promotion inputs.
- Verify the artifact exists before promoting it.
- Report failed upstream image publication separately from artifact failure.
Never overwrite a known-good artifact to force a broken rebuild through.
When to Use
Use for Installation media or downstream image artifacts.
When NOT to Use
Do not use for Normal image build or release metadata only.
Core Process
Verify source digest, read artifact workflow, use explicit safe inputs.
Common Rationalizations
- "A shortcut is harmless." Follow the source-of-truth and verification rules instead.
Red Flags
- Promoting an artifact without verifying its source image.
